Rozemaai Housing by Atelier Kemper Thill is an „exterem makeover“ renovation project of a dilapidated modernist apartment blocks of the 1970‘s in Antwerp, Belgium. The transformation of 2019 increased the living quality of and added outdoor spaces to each flat, increasing the usable surface area from previous surface area to new surface area.
This project contributes to the social-ecological transformation by stating an example of a well-balanced relationship between sustainability and economy. The two buildings were radically stripped down to the concrete construction, were isolated and equipped with balconies, glass façades, stairwells and elevators. The living quality as well as the economic value were strongly increased while the underlying building structure could be preserved.
